FORTUNATE CHILDREN.
A Seemingly Trifing Gift Proves Source
of Wealth.

The singular manner in which
wealth comes suddenly and unexpect-
eddy to some people, and the equally
singular circumstances by which others
have the much sought for key in their
hands, and unknowingly pass it to
some one else, are events of everyday
life and yet in some cases the facts,
form an interesting chapter of Incl
dents we'll worth nsrrating. A case
in point occurred in Oakland during
the present month, in which a widow
named Morris and her two little chill
dren were the parties interested. On
the afternoon of last New Years day
Angus M. Robinson of st. Louis, Mo-.
and brother OF Mrs. Morris, while on
a visit to San Francisco on business
awaited himself of the opportunity to
make a New Years call on his sister
across the bay. While there neigh
Dor came in for few minutes, and in
the course of conversation remarked
that he had been quite lucky during
the last month OF the old year in draw.
ing 800 in The Louisiana Lottery.
Shortly after the neighbours departure
the subject of the lottery was again
referred to in the conversation between
Mrs. Morris and her brother. The
latter remarked that he bought tickets
regularly every month, but had drawn
but two small prizes, one of $50 and
one of 500. At this moment Mrs.
Morris's two little children came run
ming into the room, and Mr.. Robinson
suggested to his sister that he had a
number of coupons in his pocket, and
that he would give her one apiece for
the children. The tickets were re-
ceived, and but little thought of them
for some time. About the date of the
drawing on the 18th inst, Mrs. Morris
made a note of the two numbers
81 800 and 1864, and watched for the
first published intelligence. On the
next day after the drawing a few of
the understanding large prizes were
published, and in an interview with a
reporter few days ago the lady said ::
why, you cannot imagine my sur
prise when ! read one of those two
numbers at the head of the list.
had to read 1T over and over again be-
lore l could believe my own eyes.
But 1t turned out to be the truth, and
forwarded the ticket to New Orleans
for collection. 1t was 1850, and it
drew $4,000. The money was
promptly paid, and l received it a few
days ago. 1t is to be invested for the
benefit of my two little ones, and by
the time they reach maturity it will

to carry archers and javelin hurlers into

rush upon the enemy and trample them
under foot. While opposing warriors
on their elephants fought at short range
thee'ephants themselves would fight each
other. 1t is said that the notion that
the Asiatic elephant is superior to his
African brother dates from the time
when, in battle between Ant ochus
Ill. King of Syria, and Ptolemy Philo-
pator. in 2l7 b. c., the Asiatic elephants
in the army of the Syrian monarch
killed every one of Ptolemy's African
animals. TIL idea of the superiority

A GENIAL REsToRATIYE.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are emphatically
a genial restorative. The changes which this
great botanic remedy produces in the disordered
organization are always agreeably. though
surely progressive, never abrupt and violent.
On this account it is admirably adapted to per-
sons of delicate constitution and weak nerves,
to whom the powerful mineral drugs are posi-
lively injurious. That it initiates those pro-
cesses which result in the re-establshment of
healthful vigor is conspicuously shown in cases
where it is taken to overcome that fruitful
cause of debility, indigestion, coupled, as it
usually is, with biliousness and constipation.
Thorough digestion, regular evacuation and
abundant secretion, are results which promptly
and invariably attend its systematic use. IT is
besides, the best protective against malaria,
and first. rate diuretic.
